I was really confused about what qualifies as "somatic comorbidity" in one of those articles. Couldn't find the definition used for the study.

I found the article regarding dining companion absolutely fascinating as I remember in high school ( I went to an affluent high school ) someone doling out diet pills from a tylenol bottle... and my best friend and myself being named the bulimic barbies (though I didn't purge)... and I know when I go out with people now I'm always timid to get food if no one else is (which is why I love going out with people that love food - hahaha)

It also makes me wonder if having (close?) friends with eating disorders can also influence each person...

I can't even begin to imagine answering my child with, "Yes, you are fat." as per the "Talking with your Child About Weight" article. Holy cats. I'm not even sure I have more of a response to give without going into overload.

@The Dandelion Girl - I know I had friends in college who influenced my eating disorder with their own disordered eating patterns.

Thanks for the imposter syndrome article, it's so comforting to know that I'm not the only one who feels that way. It's really great to know that successful, confident women also struggle with those thoughts and feelings.

Thank you for these articles. It's so important to remember that you're not alone when it comes to an eating disorder. I remember when my self image was so depleted, and although it's better now, I still struggle every day. http://onlineceucredit.com/edu/social-work-ceus-eda is another great resource, if you're interested.

About Me

I'm a science writer, a jewelry design artist, a bookworm, a complete geek, and mom to a wonderful kitty. I am also recovering from a decade-plus battle with anorexia nervosa. I believe that complete recovery is possible, and that the first step along that path is full nutrition.
